Cannot resolve MX record error

I have a pop3 account (in Outlook Express) on the box where James is
running that can connect and send mail to James, which James then
spools, but cannot deliver.  The recipient is the same pop3 account.
The account is a user on the James server.

 

Looking in the logs, I see there is a DNS/MX record error.  My network
admins tell me the MX record is correctly setup on the box, which
coincidentally is also the DNS server.

 

Why won't my mail get delivered?

 

Thanks in advance,

Mark

 

 

Here's the whole log:
